New Jack City

“They're a new breed of gangster. The new public enemy. The new family of crime.”

New York in the crack years, and Nino Brown (Wesley Snipes) has turned the Cash Money Brothers into an operation clearing a million dollars every week. Mario Van Peebles sends in Scotty Appleton (Ice-T), a detective who sees only one way into the gang, which is to become a dealer himself. Scotty gets close to Nino by living his life, and the closer he gets, the more the two men start to read each other.
